Das Eigentum — Embajada TT
Embajada TT is a three-star hotel in a converted Vedado mansion, all high ceilings, terrazzo floors and vintage Cuban tiles. The lobby feels like a faded social club: quiet, a little dusty, with a bar that serves strong mojitos and a front desk that can actually arrange a classic car tour. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want character and a solid central location, not fancy trimmings or a pool.
Chroniken von Havana
Havana was founded in 1519 by Spanish conquistadors, quickly becoming a key port for treasure fleets. Its architecture spans baroque, neoclassical and art deco periods, with Vedado and Centro Havana packed with decaying but majestic buildings from the 1920s-1950s. The 1959 revolution froze development, leaving a surreal cityscape frozen in mid-century. Today, Havana is a UNESCO World Heritage site, balancing its crumbling beauty with a vibrant music and art scene that draws visitors from everywhere.

Top-Attraktionen in Havana
💡 Go early (8-9am) before tour groups arrive. The adjacent Museo de Arte Colonial costs a couple of CUP but gives rooftop views of the plaza for free once you're inside.
💡 Start at the Hotel Nacional end, walk east towards Havana Vieja during late afternoon when the breeze picks up. Watch for crumbling seawall sections after storms.
💡 Take a bus or taxi from central Havana (about 15 mins). No security or fences around it; it's a regular neighbourhood park. Best visited late afternoon when it's cooler and the sun makes the bronze glow. The nearest cafe sells decent iced coffee.
💡 Skip the overpriced audio guide. Bring small CUP notes for the locked donation boxes in some rooms. The Granma Memorial outside (the yacht used in the 1956 landing) is free to view through the fence; you can see it from outside the museum grounds.
💡 Arrive by 8pm on Thursday or Friday to avoid huge queues. Pay in CUP at the door if you have it; the card machine sometimes fails. Check their Facebook page for schedule changes.
